But this is really irrelevant - the issue at hand is what we want
for VFS level delalloc support. IMO, that mechanism needs to support
both XFS and ext4, and I'd prefer if it doesn't perpetuate the
bufferhead abuses of the past (i.e. define an iomap structure
instead of overloading bufferheads yet again).

I'm not sure I understand very well. where would you track uptodate,
dirty and other states then? do you propose to separate block states
from block mapping?

thanks, Alex
